My parents, both pensioners, were charged £850 by an emergency plumber last night.

They have British Gas HomeCare, but they couldn’t get anyone out to them quickly enough. Their toilet was overflowing and starting to flood the house, so they called an emergency plumber.

They have another toilet, so the immediate emergency was the flooding. The water could potentially have been isolated and a quote provided before any repair work was carried out.

Instead, the work was done immediately and they were charged £850.

My dad was also sent a series of text messages he had to respond to during the emergency. As far as I could tell, they didn’t appear to contain any obvious company branding, address or identifying information.

Fuming on their behalf. Can’t help feeling they’ve been taken advantage of.

Is this normal practice? And if not, is there anything we can do about it now?

Andy Burnham will let this man into women’s toilets, he sees nothing wrong in it! How do you feel women about this because it would make me mighty uncomfortable

I'm sure Royal Mail put aside all your post then deliver it all in one day. Nothing all week, then six items of mail in one day. Anyone else noticed this?

A Nottingham Forest fan broke down en route to the Stadium of Light for the game tonight. He thought all hope of getting to the game was lost until a Sunderland fan pulled over and offered him and his mate a lift to the game.

Absolutely brilliant, that! 👏

Happy St George’s Day 🌹

We’re marking the day with a giant St George’s flag proudly flying outside the Council House in Nottingham.

If you’re in the city centre today, take a look and snap a photo 📸

I am proud to be English - always have been, always will be. On St George’s Day, and every other day.

Never let anyone tell you that pride in our England is shameful, or something to hide.

It is most definitely not.

It is noble. It is natural. It is necessary.

Our compass and foundation must be our history, and that is a history to be proud of.

So why is it that others can celebrate who they are with no guilt, no apologies, no fear?

Yet the English are silenced - patronised and insulted, despite everything that we’ve given to this world.

I am tired of it. We are all tired of it.

So now is the time for English men and women to finally stand up for themselves.

To stand up for our history, our culture, our people, our very special way of life.

Our home.

Because if we don’t, and very soon, then we are all going to lose far more than a debate.

We will lose everything.

I think of how our country is going to look, feel and be in 50 years, even 10 years, and it fills me with a looming dread. It is not too late to change it, but that point is already recklessly close.

We must now fight for the England we wish to pass on to our children and grandchildren.

Because patriotism is simply a sense of stewardship, that's how I feel it.

The belief that what we inherited matters. And that we have a duty to leave it stronger, safer, wealthier and more prosperous than how we found it.

That’s the England I want to pass on.

But always remember - the English like to leave it late. We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again.

We will Restore Britain, and we will Restore England.

✝️ Today marks Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent - a season of reflection, prayer, and service.

May this Lent be a time of renewal for all who observe it.

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

Today is #ShroveTuesday, the day before the start of #Lent.
The name is derived from the word shrive, meaning to absolve. It is a day of penitence when Christians confess their sins and receive forgiveness, as well as a day of celebration before the abstinence of Lent.

[Chris @Christine0762]

@NHSNotts This is excellent and we have only just discovered it in the last few days it also allows you to add a photo etc if necessary.
